Well, we only have a few major bugs in 7.0:
- /boot: doesn't time out, and keyboard input is impossible...
Current version: fixed both of the above problems, with the exception
that it doesn't time out if you go to the menu and then come back to
boot (option 1). This means I am throwing this at a lower priority
since to do this, one has to be at the keyboard. I do not even know
if the previous version worked in this respect.
- emacs: ctrl-backspace no longer is undo...
Ezra fixed this...
- find: seems to hang in readdir() if the new syscall is not in place.
Unfortunately, find is run prior to the execution of auto_update and
will cause the machine to hang. It looks like a libc bug. <sigh>
Still needing testing:
- re-compiled RT bootblocks (second-stage bootblocks, not the third-stage
/boot).
